Hi there blog friends!!! It's time for another challenge at The House That Stamps Built and this week it's an inspiration challenge with a surprise....there are two to choose from! That's right, you can pick one or the other or BOTH and mix and match! How fun!!! Here they are:

We hope you'll join the Rock Stars and join this challenge...lots of options here...go for it!

I combined the two and here's my creation

I created the stars and stripes frame by masking. I used RI Stamp #5111-H "Star Sil lg" to create the stars area and then masked the bottom portion into strips and sponged Distress Ink "Barn Door" between the strips of of masking. I then cut it with a frame die. I took the panel from the frame die and inked up a cloud embossing folder with light blue ink and then ran it through my Vagabond. I then inserted it back into the center of the frame. The balloons are colored with Copic Markers and fussy cut from RI Stamp# 9113-K "Hot Air Balloon" and #9116-N "Hot Air Balloon Cluster" and RI#9105-G "Thanks for the Lift". All of these are from the Big Boys Toys Set.

About Me

I'm a sixty "something" boomer who saw a handmade card one day and thought "WOW! I want to do that". Sooooo, here I am. (Secret) When I was a little girl, paper dolls were my favorite toy; I must have had hundreds of them and I used to cut the models out of my mother's old catalogs and make clothes for them with some other pages from the ladies clothing photos.
I married a Maine (iac) man and now live here in the beautiful state of Maine, however, I was born and raised in the beautiful Adirondacks of NYS. I'm devoted to my wonderful husband, my kids and my grandchildren. I'm blessed in so many ways and I count my blessings every day.
